Welcome to Sacha Lodge

Adventure beckons from the treetops, the jungle floor, the water, and even from the sky

Imagine walking across a bridge suspended over the rainforest canopy, paddling through creeks in search of monkeys and river otters, climbing to the very top of a giant kapok tree or swimming in a black-water lake, threading your way through trees in search of the world’s tiniest monkey… You‚’ll find these exclusive experiences, plus many more, only at Sacha Lodge, within our pristine 5,000-acre (2,000-hectare) ecological reserve in the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Cross the rainforest on a one-of-a-kind bridge: 1,200 ft (300m) long and 120 ft (36m) high over the treetops, suspended among three metal towers. Follow along with troops of monkeys as they forage through the forest canopy and spot thousands of birds.

THE KAPOK TOWER

READY FOR SOME EPIC TREE-CLIMBING?

Feel on the very top of the world on our 135-foot (43-meter) observation tower, a platform built on the highest branches of a giant kapok tree with an unending view of the forest. From here, magnificent, panoramic views of the forest unfold all around.

THE BUTTERFLY HOUSE

A LIVE EXHIBITION CONSERVATORY

Sacha Lodge is home to one of the largest butterfly farms in Ecuador. Designed as a live exhibition conservatory, the Butterfly House is now successfully breeding nearly 40 local butterfly species. Guests will be shown how these beautiful insects are bred and raised.

YASUNÍ PARROT LICK

A SHOW OF SOUND AND COLOUR

A short distance from Sacha Lodge, on the edge of Yasuní National Park, is Ecuador’s most accessible parrot lick, an exposed clay riverbank where technicoloured parrots of several species gather in the early morning.

CREEK PADDLING

THE WATER IS THE THREAD THAT LINKS EACH EXPERIENCE

Paddling down the streams is like entering into a tunnel leading to a lost world. Birds call in surround-sound and vast families of monkeys leap from branches overhead, a show to coincide with the setting of the sun.

Remote, yet accesible

The journey is all part of the Amazon adventure

The Amazon might seem like a world away, but Sacha Lodge is easily accessible from Quito. After an easy 25-minutes flight from Quito and a two-hour journey speeding up the Napo River in a motorized canoe leaving civilization far behind, by lunchtime you will be in a hammock listening to the chatter of the tamarind monkeys.

What the media say about us

VOGUE

Here, you can spend your days canoeing in the tranquil Amazonian waters of Lagartococha, constantly on the lookout for your next toucan, caiman, and three-toed sloth sighting.

THE SPECTATOR

I will never forget the giant condors I saw soaring in the air currents amid the snow-capped volcanoes near Quito, nor the 140-plus birds seen in three days at Sacha Lodge, a tourist haven carved heroically out of the rainforest an hour or so down an Amazon tributary from Coca.

SIGNATURE LUXURY TRAVEL

Amazing observation walk and towers hovering over the forest's canopy, one of the wildlife-rich parts of the Amazon, Sacha Lodge is a birdwatcher's mecca.

CONDÉ NAST TRAVELER

With the help of Ernesto, our local guide, even my groggy untrained eyes can spot a multitude of species on our first morning walk.
